Xplor Names EDP, M-EDP and EDA Class of 2010

Xplor International, the worldwide electronic document systems association, today announced its EDP (Electronic Document Professional), M-EDP (Master Electronic Document Professionals) and EDA (Electronic Document Associate) class of 2010. A total of 49 recipients were inducted into the program during an award ceremony at Xplor’s 31st annual Conference and Vendor Forum, April 5-7, 2011 in Tampa Bay, Florida.

“The EDP program, which now contains both M-EDP and EDA designations, allows individuals to differentiate themselves and certification brings recognition, career enhancements and personal satisfactions,” said Skip Henk, EDP, President and CEO of Xplor International. “EDP’s are viewed as experts for effective and consistent communication document technologies and leaders in information management within their organizations and the industry at large.”

The EDP designation has been an industry symbol for professional proficiency, experience and commitment since its inception over 20 years ago. EDP professionals promote and enhance the industry through continuing individual education, knowledge sharing and mentoring of others in the certification process. To date, over 500 EDPs have been certified worldwide, with numbers increasing ever year.

In 2009, two new levels of certification were introduced to offer an entry level for those individuals starting out in the industry and Master-EDP for current EDP professionals who have demonstrated expertise in specific areas of the electronic document industry. The two individuals who are part of the 2010 Master EDP class have demonstrated significant expertise within the Electronic Document indust10. The Electronic Document Associate is designed for entry-level individuals who have less than 5 years of industry experience. Both programs, initiated at the end of 2009, were met with significant enthusiasm in 2010.

Xplor and the EDP Commission congratulate the following Class of 2010:
